cheap trick to split the question and distort the context, doug. who
determines what is enlightened? you, me, the jihadists, the christians, the
zionists, OR the buddhists? do you really want to engage in a birthrate race
based on who has the material wealth to provide for more greedy consumers
versus say islamic ascetics who will blow up oil tankers and poison the
environment to get their way?

you know full well that it has everything to do with the kind of fanatics that
use ruligion and the bible as a justification for patriarchy. these are the
people you want to breed because they have the wherewithal to provide for their
offspring and educate them to proselytize their faith. the birthrate race will
prove to be just as destructive as the arms race.
